Hello everyone, and Happy Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only two weeks to go until the holiday! Here are some highlights for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, students explored how Gothic stories use false endings and twist endings to shock the reader, studying examples from The Monkey\u2019s Paw<\/em> and The Woman in Black<\/em>. They analysed how calm moments are used to lull the audience before the horror returns. Building on this, students then spent time planning their own Gothic horror stories for their upcoming writing assessment. They developed settings, heroes, villains, key plot moments, and possible twists, preparing to craft atmospheric and suspenseful narratives next lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMYC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Science, we completed our clay models from last week, where students created simple molecule models to show the difference between elements, compounds, and mixtures. We then moved on to explore physical and chemical changes, learning how to spot when a new substance has formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In History, students presented their group projects on the Renaissance, Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution. Each group shared their key thinkers, inventions and creative ideas from their assigned period, explaining how these developments changed society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
